Anya, the Shopkeepers of America called. They wanted me to tell you that 'please go' just got replaced with 'have a nice day.'

I can't check the board or post during that day generally, so I end up doing a lot of skimming at night and often feel like I'm too late for a conversation

This is where meara-ing came in! Back in the day when I wasn't allowed to be on borg during the day, and I'd come home and catch up on hundreds of posts...

The direct transfers must have gone through or you wouldn't have gotten the refund, right?

This was my thought--surely you would've noticed if the money wasn't actually getting paid out of your account, and wasn't disappearing into the ether, right?? Good luck.

Why am I not in bed? Oh, right, I started talking about Jeremy Renner and the power of his ass compelled me to look at it.

Something I posted on Twitter the other day: according to my Fitbit, I've walked over 2,010 miles since I started using it.

Oh, it makes no sense at all: the direct transfers were totally going through, but something in the book-keeping seems to have broken down. As if they weren't registering because they didn't come in the front door via check or electronic bill-pay (rather than direct transfer). Nobody seems to have checked the actual account.

I shall have a pleasant conversation tomorrow, let me tell you. Especially since they've probably screwed my credit rating. ARGH.

ION, rock on, shrift! That's awesome!

That is awesome, shrift! Also, how the hell do you walk so damn many steps every day?!? I mean, sure, this past Saturday and Sunday I walked about 14K steps...because I ran a 5K and went to a festival and walked to and from the bus to the race, etc. But most normal days I have a hard time getting more than maybe 7K (today, walking to and from dance class, and wearing it all during dance class) or on some days, 3K (while traveling--walk to gate, fly somewhere, drive somewhere, walk down some hallways, drive to hotel, sleep).

Would you look at the time... No alarm has gone off, I still have a cold. So wrong.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Best email of the week: "I don't have time to read the instructions! Just tell me what to do!"

Consuela,

please provide details about your conversation today. I feed off of people fighting bank injustices. It makes me stronger.

Mama Nubian is an early warrior in this arena. May her strength and skills guide you today.

I don't even dare telecommute; stupid reigns. Will call in to a few meetings and work on travel report between communing with the kleenex box.

Also? My coffee is not as good as the early morning cafe bars'.

I do not understand the White House Correspondents' Dinner. I thought it was for White House Correspondents-- but instead there are pictures of a lot of celebrities in attendence-- and not ones that are political in any way-- ones like Lindsay Lohan!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The press organizations invite fancy and/or famous people to sit at their tables, in hopes that the celebrity rubs off.
